DOERS⋅TO⋅DOERS - Proven strategies to building an inclusive team.

Having trouble diversifying your team?

It's not for lack of trying, but there seem to be many obstacles in your way:

- You wanted to recruit someone who speaks only English, but you and the rest of the team are used to working in your native language.

- You want to recruit a woman for your tech team, but the disparities are visible and the profiles are lacking.

- You diversify your recruitment sources to attract different candidate profiles, but you realize that your professional networks are still largely homogeneous.

We know, the road is long. That's why we'll be discussing this topic with an expert and an entrepreneur, to break down all the challenges that you, as entrepreneurs, face on a daily basis, and how to solve them.

Marcelle Laliberté, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at HEC Paris, discusses everyday the impacts of diversity and inclusion on innovation and competitiveness of organizations. With a doctorate in Education, her areas of research focus on student engagement, social justice, diversity, and inclusion projects. Some of her current work includes exploring how commitment to public service shapes university leadership response to national reforms, increasing visibility of women as subject matter experts in Aerospace, creating learning communities between universities, businesses and individuals to address inclusion and belonging in higher education and measuring the social impact of universities within their communities.

Christophe Le Houédec co-founded Ayolab in 2017, after a previous experience as a Director at Amazon. From its headquarters located in L’Oréal’s Beauty-Tech Atelier at Station F, Ayolab supports a userbase spanning Western Europe, India, Russia, and the USA. Since the beginning of Ayolab, Christophe has strived to include diversity in his recruitment processes. As an entrepreneur, he has agreed to come and talk about his journey, his challenges, and the measures he and his team have been able to implement to try to make Ayolab an environment as inclusive as possible.

This is the new format of the Incubateur HEC Paris expert events.

The life of an entrepreneur is made up of difficult moments in which critical decisions must be made very quickly, every day. Too often, management teams are left alone to deal with these issues, relying only on generic advice from ill-suited training courses, or dubious information from ready-made solution sellers.

Until today ?

The Incubateur HEC Paris is a tailor-made, participatory startup support program. It mobilizes all the resources of the HEC ecosystem around talented entrepreneurs. Its ambition is to enable entrepreneurs to achieve in 3 months, the goals they would have reached alone in 1 year. Incubates can complete several successive 3-month periods.

Since its creation in 2007, the Incubateur HEC Paris has already supported more than 400 companies (Concord, Product-Live, Leetchi, Point Vision, Luko, Garantme ...). Today, the Incubateur HEC Paris supports 150 startups and offers 200 workstations in its 700m2 space nestled in the heart of Station F in Paris.

We regularly organize workshops and webinars on the main issues facing entrepreneurs: selling their product, developing it, recruiting, and financing. Find all our upcoming events on incubateurhec.substack.com
